Some insurance plans have their own ID numbers for providers to use for claims (instead of or in addition to the State ID Number or Provider #). The Provider ID Setup enables you to cross-link multiple IDs to a provider and insurance company to ensure that the correct ID is printed on each insurance claim. From the Provider ID Setup dialog box, you can add, change, delete, clear, and copy provider IDs.
